Terry,
IMO, a perfect example of why you ask for help before you make the call, or you make the call and stick with it.
The continuing action makes the "help" from PU cause more problems than sticking with the call.
If I am PU with runners scoring, you are on your on at first. I'm watching touches at home and 3rd in your sitch.
Get the best angle and distance you can and use all evidence available to you. When the offensive coach asks for the "appeal" (man, I hate that umpires let coaches get away with this) Tell him what you saw from your position. Remind him you were in the proper position with 2 man mechanics, and remind him if he wants someone on top of every call to push the TD or league for 3 man crews.
